Policies and Procedures That Govern University Procurements
UB and USM procurement policies are designed to provide for a procurement process of quality and integrity, broad based competition, fair and equal treatment of the business community, increased economy in the procurement process, and uniform procurement procedures. These values promote the purposes of State procurement law, and strike a balance between needed institution self-management and the Board of Regents’ responsibility to govern the System.
UB Procurement policies and procedures apply to all purchases made with University funds. Any expenditure from a University account (including PeopleSoft Requisition / Purchase Order and University Purchasing Card), regardless of the original source of funds, is subject to these policies.
The Policies cover two types of purchases:
- Purchases made using the UB Purchasing Card under delegated purchasing authority, and
- Purchases made through the Department of Procurement (typically purchases over $5,000 in value).
